@@moptasticable That was april fools, yes. But imagine if they actually make a full one with everyone and included the Dungeons of Aether characters too. Just saying, man. I have a feeling. It sounds like something they'd do for lols.
I'm happy they brought back the aether part because they're actually doing such a great job of expanding the aether universe with fun games and other media, it'd be a shame if they dropped all that for their shiny new game just to shorten the title
Right?! Super stoked on reverting that. Kinda curious if it was because of 'series confusion' or if it had anything to do with a certain Marvel super heroes based arena shooter coming up
Eh, Rivals of Aether 1 was called "Rivals" for short. It was obviously gonna be RoA2 because it's the sequel. Lots of fighting games get shortened names from the community when names are just too long. For example, Guilty Gear Strive is often just called "Strive" and everyone knows it's GG. So yeah.
Thank God y'all went back to the "of Aether" subtitle. it always confused me how every game in the franchise and even the studio hat produces it had Aether in its name yet the sequel of the main game seemed to drop it for no reason. It Makes everything feel much more coherent and now RoA 2 actually feel like a sequel to the first game.
I KNOW RIGHT!? I just saw the trailer a few minutes ago and was like 'Geez if that doesn't sound like "Hello I'm the main secret villain controlling everything from the shadows" I don't know what does' . Same happened when I first watched RWBY volume 1, and immediately called it 😗
I remember playing vaporeon in super smash land the first time and how active and responsive and kind Dan Fornace is on twitter when he could be. This is SO EARNED. So good to see.
Awesome trailer, I can't wait to play since my main is back too. I'm sorry if Marvel Rivals made you revert the title, the Rivals name definitely belongs to you. And it's not like this title is any bad.
I don't know how, but I somehow saw Forsburn's reveal coming in this video as I watched the roster. It sent chills down my spine when I saw the smoke and immediately knew it was him! The game is hyping me up, and I can’t wait to play it!! 🔥🔥🔥
Hope the team can properly be proud of this trailer and the game that they have made. I grew up with rivals of aether 1 and it legit brings tears to my eyes thinking about how far the ip has come. I'm so excited to support this game as it has left nothing but the fondest memories of my life I can think of
@@GammaFn. Do not cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written. (I was there during the Rivals Direct 2 livestream. I have known about this thing from the very beginning.)
I can't play Forsburn in the original to save my life but I've always found him so awesome. While I wait for my mains to get added back I think I'll give him a shot again when this comes out!
Amazing work you guys. I've been a backer since like day 2 and the game is super fun. I'm a little sad we won't be getting Ori back in this one but excited to play some new characters
If rivals 2 gets workshop support I think it will inherently be less populated than rivals 1 workshop just because of the difference in work it takes to make anything in a 3d engine vs the sprite based engine
Super excited for this game. Looks sick and I don’t mind the transition to 3D models instead of sprites. Wondering where the other characters are from the first game, but I’m sure that’ll come with time. For now, fuck yeah
That's just a little over a month! I just hope we will see a Switch release because my computer doesn't run games from Steam that good. Also still hoping to see Absa make it in.
Yeah, the next gen console is a possibility. I could definitely see them doing that especially if it comes to consoles later on after it's original release.
Frm a console & now a pc owner One day you’ll get into steam & you’ll understand its really ok to seperate the games on certain platforms ,honestly ik i wouldnt want alot of addons on one game tht could take the space of 10 games on my ps5 but some devs do better on certain platforms if you seen bdo console to bdo pc iswea youd hate to see a game come to console with literally 30% of wat other platforms offer & still have to pay full price omgosh it sucks but steam deck on sale rn you should cop & giv it a chance as a step into kinda linear pc gaming my friend👍

Rivals is honestly the only platform fighter that I feel can compare to Smash. Other ones just don't feel as tight or snappy, at all. Rivals sctrached that itch, and I cannot wait for this!
@@curse5697the way i can explain multiversus movement is that it feels like your controlling hot air balloons that get weighed down by anvils as soon as they start falling
I hope eventually they all become the friends of aether
We'll probably see that in the story mode lol
Or maybe further than that like some kind of lovers of aether idk just spitballing

Who is she tho? An Abyss creature?

God help us all when Rivals II gets a custom character workshop too
Oh God. Since it's heavily inspired from it, if Rivals II does, one of things I can totally see happening is the entire Melee Roster being made
